Our Botox Service

If youโ€™re looking for a non-surgical way to refresh your appearance, Botox is one of the most trusted and effective treatments available. At Livia Med Spa in Tampa, we specialize in Botox injections that reduce the appearance of wrinkles, soften expression lines, and prevent deeper creases from formingโ€”all while maintaining a natural, relaxed look.

Our licensed injectors combine medical precision with aesthetic artistry to deliver balanced, subtle results. Whether itโ€™s your first time trying Botox or you’re returning for maintenance, weโ€™ll create a customized treatment plan that complements your facial features and long-term goals.

What Is Botox and How Does It Work?

Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment widely used for reducing the appearance of dynamic facial wrinkles. It contains a purified form of botulinum toxin that works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for repetitive facial movementsโ€”such as frowning, squinting, raising your eyebrows, or smiling. These repeated movements cause lines and wrinkles to form over time, and Botox interrupts this process by softening the underlying muscle activity.

When injected into specific, carefully chosen areas, Botox prevents the muscles from contracting too strongly, allowing the skin above them to relax and smooth out naturally. This leads to a noticeable reduction in expression lines, giving you a refreshed, more youthful appearance without the need for surgery or invasive procedures.

A common misconception is that Botox โ€œfreezesโ€ your face or leaves you with an unnatural, stiff look. In reality, when administered by a skilled and experienced injector, Botox subtly reduces muscle movement while preserving your natural facial expressions. This ensures your features remain dynamic and expressive, just softer and smoother.

The treatment is fast, generally lasting about 20 to 30 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Botox is fully customizable depending on the treatment area, your muscle strength, and your personal aesthetic goals. Whether you want to soften deep wrinkles or prevent new lines from forming, Botox offers a safe and effective solution tailored to your needs.

WHat Does Botox Treat?

Botox is most commonly used to treat dynamic wrinklesโ€”those formed by repeated muscle movements over time. At our Tampa med spa, we use Botox to address:

  • Forehead lines

  • Frown lines (often called “11s” between the eyebrows)

  • Crowโ€™s feet around the outer eyes

  • Bunny lines across the bridge of the nose

  • Fine lines around the lips or “smokerโ€™s lines”

  • Dimpling or puckering of the chin (orange peel texture)

  • Vertical neck bands (platysmal bands)

Botox is also frequently used preventatively, especially among younger clients seeking to delay the formation of deep-set wrinkles. This approach, sometimes called “Baby Botox,” uses smaller doses to subtly relax the muscles before lines become more prominent.

Before & After

Botox Before And After

Our Tampa clients consistently see a noticeable transformation with Botox. Lines become softer, features appear more lifted, and the face takes on a smoother, more relaxed look. Best of all, the results are naturalโ€”never frozen or artificial.

We encourage clients to take progress photos at each session to track results and refine future treatments. Botox can also be paired with dermal fillers, PRP, or skin treatments to address deeper wrinkles or volume loss as part of a full facial rejuvenation plan.

B before B After

Botox Recovery Time and Aftercare

Botox has minimal downtime, making it one of the most convenient cosmetic treatments available. After your session, you may notice mild redness, swelling, or tenderness around the injection sites. These side effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few hours.

For the best results, we recommend:

  • Avoiding intense exercise, alcohol, and lying flat for 4โ€“6 hours

  • Skipping facials, massage, or makeup on the treated area for the rest of the day

  • Lightly moving your facial muscles (smiling, frowning, raising your brows) to help the product settle evenly

Youโ€™ll start to see results within 3 to 5 days, with the full smoothing effect visible by 10 to 14 days. Most clients enjoy their results for 3 to 4 months, and with consistent treatments, lines may return more slowly and appear less pronounced over time.

Targeted, Natural Rejuvenation

At Livia Med Spa, we treat a wide range of Botox areas with a focus on facial harmony and subtle enhancement. Our most commonly requested zones include forehead lines, glabellar lines (the โ€œ11sโ€ between the brows), crowโ€™s feet around the eyes, bunny lines on the nose, lip flips for a fuller upper lip, chin dimpling, and jawline slimming through masseter muscle reduction. Each Botox session at our Tampa location begins with a personalized facial assessment, where we evaluate your muscle movement and take the time to understand your aesthetic goals. This allows us to tailor a precise and natural-looking treatment plan that enhances your unique features.

Angie is great. Communicates everything throughout the entire process! I did Botox on my forehead, crows feet and smile lines! This was my first time and I was nervous Iโ€™d look frozen. This is the best decision I have ever made regarding my appearance. I look and feel 15 years younger. I will continue to go back to her!

I was referred to Angie by my doctors office. I have been thinking about weight loss management for quite some time but I have extreme health anxiety. Health anxiety makes me worry about side effects and what the injections could make me feel and so on. I decided to give Angie a call. To my surprise, she answered the phone. She spent 45 minutes talking with me initially. Subsequently, I went into the office to meet her and had another long appointment. She answered all of my questions and made me feel so comfortable. I cannot begin to tell you the extreme amount of patience that she had with me. She never once made me feel bad for being so worried and having so much anxiety. I have been on the shots less than a week and have lost 5 pounds. I know 5 pounds is not a lot, but I cannot begin to describe how good I feel. I literally owe all of this to Angie and would highly recommend her spa for any of your needs. I can honestly say I probably would have never done this had it not been for the knowledge and patience that Angie had with me. I am so grateful.

I had been looking for a skilled injector since moving to Land O Lakes 2 years ago and was thrilled when I found Angie. After so many bad experiences, she was a breath of fresh air. She did a great job, results were very natural, didnโ€™t over sell me and her price is fair.

Very kind and professional! Did an excellent job and was very honest on what I needed and what wasnโ€™t necessary instead of just going along with anything like any other business wouldโ€™ve done.
